Well, you told me what I was doing here. I just corrected you. See I get to do that when it's me we're talking about.

Looks like a moot point, though; looks like all the fools are bailing on you. Maybe you can attract some people who will give you what you want now.

Well that sounds rather cute and I perceive it as condescending. You seem to be suggesting that I'm doing all this because of some psychological need, possibly quite problematic, that I have. Thus again you disregard my honest expression of my motives. Still, if it pleases you to think that, ok.
I am slightly disappointed that believers are leaving the thread (though it took ALG a couple of attempts, so maybe we'll hear from one of the others again, eh?). I had some hopes of more movement from some of them. But I'm only slightly disappointed, and after reading more about how common it is for people to believe in magic even when it is shown to be a trick, etc., I realise how few minds I'm going to really change (
true believer syndrome ).
As I said already, I am engaging in this because it is in the public arena and might be useful to others.
